After three days of playing the fish, he finally manages to reel it in and lash it to his boat, only to have sharks eat it as he returns to the harbor. COMMENTS — The Old Man and the Sea won the Pulitzer Prize for fiction in 1953. Hemingway wrote it after a 10-year literary drought, and it was his last major work of fiction. |
